  What does your avatar/screen name mean?

  some avatars and screen names are pretty self explanatory, but some...i can't figure out.

  i just wanted to know why you chose your particular screen name and/or avatar.

  mine is easy enough.

  wow! I didn't feel that important until now. I chose this name because it hadn't been taken yet.

  on page 171 of the "learn from the great teacher" book published in 2003 it shows a picture of a very cute little girl holding a ragged ann doll.

  she is sitting on a chair in her bedroom with her hand out toward a man that is coming toward her.. the paragraphs say "so just as jesus needed protection, you also need to be protected from grown-ups-and even from other children-who may try to have sex with you.

  usually, these people will pretend to be your friends.

  It is the same blame game as when a women gets raped. It is your fault cause your dress was too revealing and/or you didn't scream.

  Are the Witnesses opposing God with their twisted view of "higher education"?

  by matt2414 in

  msnbc is reporting that "the government reported friday that the unemployment rate for college graduates fell slightly in may, to 3.9 percent from 4 percent a month earlier.

  for people with just a high school degree, the unemployment rate increased to 8.1 percent, from 7.9 percent a month earlier.".

  the bible says at 1 tim.

  My point is, that the Watchtower insists that a college degree means you are trying to be rich. But only about 50% of Americans have completed some college, and only about 1% are truly rich. If college = wealth, shouldn't 50% of Americans be rich?

  In reality, people just want work to support themselves and their families, just as 1 Tim. 5:8 commands, not simply to get rich. Who are the Governing Body to position themselves between you and God's command?

  I think they want JW's to be poor so that they can blame Satan and his system for their problems. Control Control Control

  Could some of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, and Jehovah’s Witnesses “Governing Body” be suffering from Schizophrenia?

  by Balaamsass in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  could some of the watchtower bible and tract society, and jehovahs witnesses governing body be suffering from schizophrenia?.

  does it strike you as odd that millions of jehovahs witnesses and the multi-billion dollar watchtower bible and tract society might be directed by men who received a special calling by god as teenagers in the 70s?.

  in light of the fact that 99% of jehovahs witnesses accepted the accepted watchtower doctrine that the 144,000 were sealed in 1935, those that suddenly began partaking in later years, (especially untested youth) were frequently met with raised eyebrows and thought of as possibly mentally diseased in times past.. could there be an explanation?

  Scriptural v legal divorce

  by Inisc in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hi everyone, this is sort of a long story but i'll try to keep it short.. mrs inisc was previously married, and before our wedding the elders were giving us a bit of a hard time as her divorce was nigh on complete but just wasn't officially finished, however what they were really concerned about was they weren't sure her ex husband had had "relations" as they like to say,as there wasn't enough satisfactory evidence in their opinion.

  this of course made me almost catatonic with rage, especially since we hadn't been to a meeting in about 6 f'ing months and this was what they were worried about.

  and i might add the wedding was entirely booked!.

  Either way it seems they just don't want anyone to find happiness and would rather everyone stayed either in an unhappy marriage or stayed single.

  that pretty much sums it up!
